Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
My
general
reaction
is
that
in
the
post-COVID
world,
courts
and
lawyers
handle
delays
and
closures
pretty
well.
—
Michael
Sklaire,
co-managing
shareholder
of
Greenberg
Traurig’s
Northern
Virginia
office,
in
comments
given
to
the
National
Law
Journal,
ahead
of
the
winter
storm
that
prompted
the
closure
of
state
and
federal
courts
across
multiple
states,
including
Illinois,
Ohio,
Maryland,
and
Virginia.
Sklaire
continued,
noting
that
D.C.
litigators
would
handle
matters
appropriately,
“[w]hether
through
remote
testimony
or
extended
days.”
He
concluded,
saying,
“[E]veryone
knows
that
January
in
D.C.
brings
challenges
and
prepare
for
that.”
